When a Christmas shopping expedition brings Tomy Peralta into Jason Winters’s yarn store, both men feel an immediate and intense spark of attraction, but dance instructor Tomy intends to propose to his boyfriend, Sean, at Christmas. Unfortunately for Tomy, marriage isn’t on career-minded Sean’s agenda. Heartbroken, Tomy throws himself into his work until his mother convinces him that learning to knit might help take his mind off his failed romance.


Jason falls hard for Tomy, but he knows Tomy needs time to heal and to trust in love again. As Jason teaches Tomy to knit, Tomy teaches him to dance in return. Just when it seems Tomy is ready for a new romance, Sean shows up, wanting Tomy back. Will Tomy give his heart to Sean once more, or will Tomy finally see Sean for who he truly is, and choose the man who helped him knit his heart together again?

My Two Pennies Worth

I can sum this book up in one word. Adorable.

This is a very sweet, slow burn romance that takes months to move from an initial spark of interest through friendship to lovers. Tomy meets Jason when he’s buying wool for Christmas presents, there’s a spark of interest there, but Tomy is already in a relationship. When that relationship goes sour, Tomy is cajoled by his Mum into learning to knit, at Jason’s wool shop.

Jason is one of my favourite types of MCs, a big imposing body type (he was an American Footballer before he got injured) who is actually a teddy bear. When he and Tomy meet again, Tomy is distraught about his break up. Despite still being attracted to Tomy, Jason takes thing slowly, teaching Tomy to knit, taking dance lessons from Tomy, and generally being a good friend. He’s patient and never puts pressure on Tomy to take things further. 


A lovely little book that will make you smile.

Their collaborations encompass a wide variety of romance genres, including contemporary, fantasy, science fiction, gothic, and action/adventure. Their work includes the Blood Bathory series of paranormal novels, the Herc’s Mercs series, as well as two historical Westerns: Heart of Stone and Finding Forgiveness. When not writing, they can often be found scheming over costume designs or binge watching TV shows together.


Arionrhod is a systems engineer by day who is eagerly looking forward to (hopefully) becoming a full time writer in the not-too-distant future. Now that she is an empty-nester, she has turned her attentions to finding the perfect piece of land to build a fortress in preparation for the zombie apocalypse, and baking (and eating) far too many cakes.


McKay is an English teacher who has been writing for one reason or another most of her life. She also enjoys knitting, reading, cooking, and playing video games. She has been known to knit in public. Given she has the survival skills of a gnat, she’s relying on Arionrhod to help her survive the zombie apocalypse.
